Two words - Big Wheels

September 17 2010, 5:03 PM 

Joe, do you have Rick's "Big Wheel" kit on your Mex's,

If not, as Nike say's. "Just do it".

I have BIG WUNS on my old fella and can still do a 12 hour shift at my tender age.

I'm heading off shortly to clean a couple of hundred chairs, same as last Sat; but on another floor of the same building for the same company.

This we do with "Lil Mak" & encap;

Enjoy.

I've seen the light, and changed my wicked ways. wink.gif

Hey Short Wun, I dont have the big wheels, I didnt know that they would help! Maybe I will pick some up soon...

Man, we worked until midnite and my legs feel like rubber, then we have to do it all over again tomorrow night! 7 hrs tonite, probably another 4-5 tomorrow nite...

Hey, just happy I got the work in this economy!! painful muscles are what Motrin is for!

Rubberman eh ??

Do yourself a big favour mate, and get a set of them.

I had a slight problem recently and had to replace both my wheels on the job.

I carry my old originals as spares just in case something happens.

I tell ya, I never worked so hard for that job, that's the difference they make.

Running over the extension lead was like pushing Big Yella across tree branches.

The Big Wheels just glide over it normally.

It is so much easier to turn around also, especially inside a walk in robe.

Soon as I was done it was straight home to put another set of Big Wheels on.

Take care,

Shortestwun.

Finally finished!

Just finished the big library job - and i'm not as sore as I thought I would be! Did it in 10 hrs, 2 cimex's. Man, going around those bookshelves takes A LOT of time! If it was wide open it would of taken about half the time!

Time to rest now...

joe

BTW, it wasnt 30k, thats a typo, its about 20k of carpet...

20k 30k, what's 10k among friends?

September 19 2010, 9:16 PM 

Did you make a dollar? If so then great for you! Hook up with another 11 big accounts and make more cash!

 
 

Joe DeSouza

What accounts?

September 19 2010, 11:17 PM 

Getting this library was a lucky catch, I guess---what other accounts have you guys cleaned that were on the 10k + sq.ft size? Seems so rare to find today...

and, what are your favorite accounts (i.e. medical, office bldgs, etc.)?

Thanks!

Joe

I find them by asking. Door to door sales calls.

My favorites are office halls and lobbies. Open spaces fill the wallet.
